In Revelation 14, "the Lamb" (arnion) stands on Mount Zion with the 144,000 who follow Him.
Seh is used for the Passover lamb
Arnion is used 29 times in Revelation for the Lamb.

Isaiah 53:7 describes the suffering servant (recognized as the Messiah) as a seh (שֶׂה) — lamb — led to the slaughter: "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb (seh) to the slaughter."
John 1:29 — John the Baptist declares: "Behold the Lamb (amnos, ἀμνός) of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." This directly applies the sacrificial lamb imagery to the Messiah.
Acts 8:32-35 — Philip explains Isaiah 53:7-8 to the Ethiopian eunuch as referring to Jesus, confirming the lamb-like suffering servant is the Messiah.
Revelation repeatedly presents the Lamb (arnion, ἀρνίον) in Messianic roles: worthy to open the scroll (Revelation 5:5-9, linked to the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David — clear Messianic titles from Genesis 49:9-10 and Isaiah 11:1,10).
The Lamb on the throne rules the nations (Revelation 12:5; 19:15), fulfilling Messianic prophecies (Psalm 2:9).

Revelation 5:5-6 explicitly equates the Lion of Judah/Root of David (Messianic titles) with "a Lamb (arnion) as it had been slain."
Revelation 7:17 — "For the Lamb (arnion) which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them" echoes Jesus' own words as the Good Shepherd (John 10:11-14).
Revelation 17:14 — "the Lamb (arnion) shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings" — titles applied to Jesus (Revelation 19:16; 1 Timothy 6:15).
Revelation 19:11-16 describes the returning rider called Faithful and True, with a name "The Word of God" (John 1:1,14 — Jesus), and on His thigh "King of kings, and Lord of lords" — the same Lamb who was slain now weds the bride (Revelation 19:7-9).
Revelation 22:1,3 — The Lamb (arnion) is on the throne with God, sharing divine worship (Revelation 5:13; 22:3-4), consistent only with Jesus as God incarnate (John 1:1; 20:28).
